   Hey Alan!   
      
    AI> Is there a more secure telnet, on port 995 or somesuch?   
      
   I think Debian had a version way back when but I haven't heard about it in   
   well over a decade now.  Also saw some howtos years ago that used ssl   
   tunneling to provide a stock telnet with ssl encryption.  Also, also libssh   
   might have something worth investigating along these lines.   
      
    AI> As far as ftn transfers go I think binkd is secure   
      
   Seems good enough for my needs ... and then some.  Also like you say,   
   supported pretty well across the board so the possibilty of someone in Windows   
   world potentially duplicating what we're playing around with ... given that   
   they can tolerate it's gui lameness that is.  ;-)   
      
   Kids these days eh?   
      
   Life is good,
